FGRST (GLAST)

FGRST (GLAST) is an object launched in 2008 in a low earth orbit, between 487 and 498 km above the Earth. It completes one orbit every 95 minutes, about 15.2 times a day, on a path tilted 25.6° to the equator. That tilt means it can pass over places as far north and south as 26° latitude.
